Summary

The paper attempts to answer the following four questions: 1. Is the comprehension process different on the Internet? 2. If so, what new thought processes are required beyond those needed to comprehend conventional print? 3. Are these processes extensions of traditional comprehension skills, or do Web-based learning environments demand fundamentally different skills? 4. If comprehension is different on the Internet, what implications do these differences have for comprehension instruction, assessment, and professional development?
